RE: Composting From Your Kitchen: Don't Chuck It in the Trash!

[wakeupkitty]

I have less.
Broccoli and cauliflower stems can be eaten.
Potatoes I only buy if I can eat the peel.
No flowers here and there is a lot you can easily replant or let grow in a bit of water.

Coffee we do not drink but it's good for your plants.

Plus... some rest including water I cooked in and not use myself I feed the wolves.

The bit left I throw next to my fence..

Happy day.

@trendotoken thank you

[jayna]

That is really great, @wakeupkitty. Very inspiring. The first step in sustainability is using less in the first place!

It’s a bit easier to compost and send everything back to nature if you live in a rural or wooded area. It can be tougher for urbanites. Hopefully more people who live in urban and suburban environments can get inspired to do so too. 😁

@jayna I hope they will since it is not much work and does not belong in the garbage bag. In the Netherlands it is collected seperate. A part can be paper. I guess/hope that is reused too. Better is to keep that can empty.

I agree. It’s so important to create as little waste as possible. Many Americans have an attitude that if something can be recycled it’s fine to buy it, so They purchas things with a lot of packaging. We need to start putting regulations in place around packaging, provide composting services, and educate our citizens about the impact on the environment of their habits.

Let's hope for those regulations. No matter what you buy there is too much package around it. 🙁

@jayna I believe the attitude is worldwide and really hope these regulations will come. I can remember most things boughtvas I was a kid, even 20 years old were not packed single in a box in paper in plastic. There was a supermarket where I could buy sugar, flour, pasta, tea, etc as much as I liked and you put it in a paper bag. I bought milk, yogurt in a glass bottle. Now they start selling bags gor 1 euro which you can reuse for your fruit or vegetables. I did not buy it yet since most is still wrapped in plastic even cucumbers. I do not buy them if they are wrapped like that.
